Question

In Albany is -4•F,in Chicago it is -14•F,in Minneapolis it is -12•F,and in Toronto it is -13•F .In which city is it the coldest?

Answer 1

Chicago. The lower down the number scale the tempature is, the colder it is.

Answer 2

The coldest temperature is that one which is more far away from the 0, below zero, or the more negative number (the more to the left in a line number that is).
So we have:
-4 F in Albany
-14 F in Chicago
-12 F in Minneapolis
-13 F in Toronto
The coldest therefore is Chicago (the most negative)
